“Would highly recommend this cottage.”

The perfect cottage in a perfect setting. Very clean and very well equipped. The bedrooms are better than you would find in any 5 star hotel. The owner Prim, is lovely and very welcoming. It is simply the best and in a stunning location. Can't wait to stay again.

“Really enjoyed our holiday.”

The cottage was in a great location which meant we parked the car and didn't need to drive all week. Plenty of walks with our dog , which was exercise for all. The cottage was well equipt and very comfortable.

“Beautiful cottage, great location”

The cottage is situated at the quieter end of the esplanade away from (but still within walking distance) of the main town, amusements, cafes etc., and there is a small coffee shop and two excellent pubs literally yards away.
The cottage is spacious, well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We certainly didn't find any cleanliness issues at all, in fact, because of the dog and the weather we were worried about leaving is as pristine as we found it it, Excellent communication with the the owner Prim (because of the snow it was touch and go whether we would be able to get there) and we have already recommended the cottage to some friends.
The location is excellent for dog owners - there is a large hallway where you can wrestle a muddy German Shepherd in order to dry it before allowing it into the rest of the property!
All in all, good value for money

“A friendly owner, cottage excellently prepared.”

Large spacious cottage for 6. Well equipped. Avoid Porlock Hill unless you love 1 in 4 hills and tight bends otherwise well located for Somerset. Lovely view of sea from bedrooms. Lots of helpful tourist information. Pleased to recommend.

The property

This detached property is Grade II listed, full of character and is situated in an enviable position on the seafront in Minehead.

This cottage is ideal for families or friends, in search of a relaxing, seaside break.

With a comfy and homely feel, this period cottage still retains many features such as exposed beams, a feature fireplace and window seats.

The tiled country kitchen and dining area, is perfect for enjoying your home-cooked meals together, whilst chatting about the day’s events.

After you have finished dining, the cosy and homely sitting room is a perfect place to relax in front of the fire, after a fun-filled day of activities.

All three bedrooms are spacious and have lovely sea views, and share the family bathroom.

Outside there is a small garden to relax in, whilst taking in the sounds of the seaside.

A stone’s throw away is Minehead beach, which is ideal for swimming, kitesurfing and windsurfing, and with easy access to amusement arcades, the terminus of the West Somerset Railway and the start of the South West Coast Path.

Take a visit to the medieval village of Dunster, where the castle dominates the skyline, or take a ride on the West Somerset steam train along the coast to the little harbour village of Watchet.

Or why not go further inland to the beautiful landscape of Exmoor, with its abundance of deer, birds and gentle rivers bubbling through the valleys?

About the location

MINEHEAD

Taunton 24 miles; Bridgwater 27 miles.

The popular seaside resort of Minehead occupies a wonderful sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the lovely West Somerset Coast. This welcoming town boasts a mile long esplanade, providing a wonderful backdrop to the golden beach, whilst the pretty harbour, visited in the summer by the famous paddle steamer Waverley, offers excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey from the seafront on the West Somerset Railway, or visit Blenheim Gardens, winner of many awards for its beautiful floral displays. Renowned for the largest herd of red deer in England, Exmoor National Park with its wooded valleys, pretty bridlepaths and heather clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.
